Diffuse Interstellar Radiation Field

The Diffuse Interstellar Radiation Field is a radiative field constituting the pervasive, non-localized distribution of photons in interstellar space, distinguished from discrete sources by its origin in the cumulative scattering and emission processes of galactic and extragalactic light that fill the interstellar medium.
